Mr. Watkins Should be Spared
WE ILA.D thought we might be spared in this year's cam
piuKn, the old wheeze about the candidate for public
office, sacrificing his personal inclinations, on the altar of en
overwhelming popular demand.
Such a plea was silly enough in the past when most of our
able-bodied citizenry had jobs. But this year, with the usual
spring run of office seekers, augmented by the flood of unem
ployed, we didn't suppose any candidate would have the nerve
or effrontery to attempt such a thing.
A CCORDIXG to the Sunday
Wutkins, on Friday last
people," this insistent popular
as candidate for United States
marios, and solemnly proclaimed
give his answer.
Modestly Brother Watkins
run "by many members of his
Progressive Republicans and
life" and with bis keen sense of public responsibility, he coub'
not ignore such a demand.
Just to rub it in. Mr Watkins goes even further, and main
tains that he had made no plans to enter the senatorial race,
had abandoned all personal ambitions in that direction, but in
view of this unexpected and spontaneous demand from the rank
and file, he feels duty bound to give "attention to the propo
sition." TX VIEW of present conditions, we feel that candidates for
public office who DON'T
to their own admissions, arc forced against their will, to stand
for them, should be allowed to
those candidates qualified to do
want them, HAVE them.
This is no time to force men
private, to take them. There are enough men who do want
the jobs, and need them, to justify the elimination of those,
who from the standpoint of their personal inclinations would
so much prefer to remain in private life.
Dr. Coolidge's Diagnosis
TITIJILE former President Coolidge's article in last week's
Saturday Evening Post, on the present state of the nation
is very interesting, we don't agree with those enthusiastic rend
ers, who regard it as startlingly original and new.
In fact we find nothing new or startling in it, merely an
assembling of facts and figures which arc generally known.
TTHE financial condition of the various governmental units in
this country, does not differ materially from the financial
condition of the individuals who make up those units.
During periods of prosperity when the future looks bright,
individuals oxtend their credit, spend money freely, and refuse
to admit that sooner or later there must be a day of reckoning.
Governments do the same thing.
Then when prosperity stops and adversity sets in, individuals
slop spending their money, try desperately to retrench, and
can't quite make out how they could have been so reckless and
foolhardy in the last. Hero, too, governments do the same thing.
ORESIDENT Coolidge shows how governmental expenditures
have increased, particularly locally, in the cities and
counties during the past 10 years. He declares this must stopj
not only our federal but our local budgets must be balanced, or
our entire credit structure will fall.
This is true. But NEW public expenditures have stopped.
Not because American psychology has changed,- but because
conditions, have changed.
But stopping NEW expenditures by governments does not
solve the problem, over night; any more than stopping new ex
penditures by individuals, solves the individual's problem, over
night. For both have gone in debt, and the interest on that
debt represents a fixed charge that must be met.
.
CO AT the present time the people of this country and the
governmental units are in precively the same boat. And
they must both work their way out and eventually will work
their way out in t'.-.e same way, by reducing expenses, increas
ing efficiency, and thus in the course of time, restoring them
selves and their governments to good financial health.
When that is done a new era of prosperity will arrive and
not until then.
And when that timo arrives will individuals do differently
than they did in the brief golden ago just passed! We hope
so, for if they don't their governments which are merely aggre
gations of individuals, will not do differently.
And then we shall return to the same old process, of staging
periods of 1- .un times to be inevitably followed by period of
depression and collapse.
So Mr. Coolidge's article is nothing new, points out no
original road to national salvation, it is merely a Humming up
of one phase of the never-ending "dance of life."

WISHING YOU GOOD RESISTANCE AND HAPPY DAYS.
The theory of resistance to disease
is sn Ingenuous one evolved from
the necessity f switching from
ancient myths
and superstitions
to the knowledge
or facts of.
science. Immun
ity la a scientif
ically demon
atrable fact. Re
sistance Is a fig
ment of the im
agination. Any physician
can determine by
actual measure
or test whether an Individual has
any immunity against diphtheria,
for Instance. No one can tell In
advance whether you have any re
sistance against any known disease.
This hocus-pocus about "poor re
sistance" Is 100 per cent post mor
tem or post morbid us explanation.
Try and find any candid opinion
about an Individual's "resistance"
before the illness or death of the
lndlvlduall
Of course every physician knows
as much as I do about Immunity,
and many know a great deal more.
But on the other hand no physician
knows a thing about "resistance"
that Is occult to anybody else. So
when a health authority .hauls olf
and emits a column or so of pon
derous advice about how to keep
your "'resistance" built up, he la
merely handing out the bunk. If
he happens to be a health officer
or a politician holding a soft berth
with some health department, well,
it makes a nice easy way for him
to earn his salary. The people seem
to like to hear the same old hokum
bunkem about the way to keep up
one's resistance, year after year, with
rare variations.
Odd, Isn't It, that these wise
health authorities confine the "re
sistance" hocus-pocus to their bulle
tins about catching cold, whatever
that may mean. There you have a
subject, sufficiently vague and un
definable to keep everybody guessing,
and such a subject lends Itself ad
mirably to the line of hokum uttered
concerning "resistance."
Although we have as yet no pre
cise means of measuring it, we have
good reason to believe that there Is
such a thing as immunity against
one or more of the common respir
atory infections which the old fogy
health authorities still Jumble to
gether indiscriminately as "colds."
Although It has not been proved by
actual scientific experiment (con
trolled tests) on human beings, we
have good reason to believe that (1)
an adequate supply of Vitamin A,
and (2) a fair degree of exposure
It Is working to build up our friends
across the northern border.

QUESTIONS AND AN8WKRS
Itahblti Safe Pets
Recently bought pair of rabbits for
my children. We have plenty of room
for them. But the other day I was
told that rabbits carry a certain dis
ease which Is very dangerous for
human beings ... (A. M.)
Answer They are perfectly safe for
pets. It is wild rabbits, not domes
tic rabbits, that may have tularemia,
and that is communicable to man,
through Infection of t,he person who
skins or dresses the rabbit and acci
dentally scratches or cuts his hands.
St.! Sttl Sstt!
When a young man otherwise In
perfect health begins to have gray
hair at 26, does It mean he Is grow
ing old early? . . . (B. H.)
Answer Let's not be too severe on
the lad. We'll say he Is probably a
little stale, and has been careless
about getting his lodin. Now he
hope the older boys and girls will
not push and shove, but Just form
a line on the right and send a
stamped addressed envelope and ask
for instructions for taking a suitable
lodin ration. I do not promise that
it will prevent graying of the hair,
or renew youth, or keep the blood
pressure down or the spirits and pep
up. I merely remind you that every
body needs a little lodin.

Why Privilege?
To the Editor:
I aee by the papers that "With
a sales tax shelter value exemption
on homea not over 91 500, renters can
and would become horn owner, and
are entitled to th privilege of
home owners, which are many and
varied."
Plans and shifting of taxes are
also "many and varied," as you may
recall.
But the "nigger In the wood-pile"
elude them all.
Now. what Is privilege?
"The Equlttst," Del Rosa, Cal..
has thla definition: "Appropriate
power granted to aome persona."
Some people seem to have the
Idea that ALL should have the full
benefit of privilege. On what then
could privilege exist?
If privileges are so numerous for
home owners, how come so many
foreclosures on homes as It Is now?
Isn't It a fact that the privileged
dollar Is merging more and more
Into fewer hands, and home ownera
becoming renters?
Til way to hava privilege for
all la to abollah It, and be inde
pendent. What the world needs Is
not privilege, but equal freedom vs.
privilege. When I came to thla
world I aoon realised the economic
aystem wasn't hlf civilised.
With prlvlleg for some off from
others to live, th brotherhood ot
work can never forgive.
It' religion perverted It' work
negative tt'a love la for getting
much mor than to give.
With th dollar legalized "In God
W Trust," It business Is for
profiteering lust.
It enablea some (regardless of earn)
to take work from others with
out work In return.
That they might live by autocrat
rule, and make th hard worker
pull like a mule.
You're "pulled" If you don't youTe
pulled If you do. by the "money
power" of the privileged lew.
When the spirit of Liberty, on her
statut base, holds equal free
dom to the whole human race-
Privilege will have vanished with
It profiteering gain, to the
"Land of Nod," with th mur
derer, Cain.
No "result-unit" money; no tribute
to pay. when th profit incentive
is out of the wsy.
With the "work-unit" exchange for
true business, the poor will be
richer, and the over-rich less.
Humanity then can truly prevail.
with "equity money." and a
"full dinner pall."
No "traitor doUar," no Income to
hide. nd th merit Incentive
walks by your side.
